Fair play Harry,you can still punch your weight .
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Don’t know so much about that one Dave, when old Norm reads my post he’ll be en-route to bat me in the gob, and i could’nt retaliate being a pacifist.
thanks harry long retired.

dave_the_renegade · 5 January 2010 18:50

Hi Harry,
He will have to tie a tennis racket to each foot to get there,also need a bar of chocolate in case he breaks down
en route.
Cheers Dave.

There is nothing wrong in eating porridge, for some people, its the only way they can get their oats.

dave_the_renegade · 6 January 2010 10:20

Hi Norm,
A few people will be glad of their porridge this cold weather. I don’t like the stuff myself,never bother with cereals.
Cheers Dave.

norman_ingram · 6 January 2010 16:07

Now I know your problem of falling a sleep Dave, you needed to have porridge when you was growing up.

dave_the_renegade · 6 January 2010 16:27

Hi Norm,
Much too active to fall asleep in the daytime,never been one for that,Ive known mates who when waiting to tip tarmac,would fall asleep for ten minutes or longer while they were waiting,me I used to go and open their cab door and wake them up,much to their annoyance.
Cheers Dave.

harry_gill · 6 January 2010 19:40

hiya,
Yes chaps a dollop of porridge laced with salt and a brace of kippers for your brekkie and you can tackle the world.
thanks harry long retired.

norman_ingram · 6 January 2010 22:47

Harry won’t the kippers spoil the taste of porridge, or vice a versa.

jimmy_m · 7 January 2010 06:11

im sitting here ■■■■*ing myself laughing at the norman and harry show!! only been on here about 3 weeks and love it. especially the M/E runs… talking about falling asleep…my mate brian fell asleep at a set of lights on a steep upward hill with just his foot on the brake, no handle. guy came and opened his door to see if he was okay and thought he was dead!! he reckoned he sat through about 5 or 6 changes!!

harry_gill · 7 January 2010 10:03

hiya,
Oi Norm we’ve got a fan, he must be crazier than us, get ready to start answering your fan-mail.
thanks harry long retired.

dave_the_renegade · 7 January 2010 15:31

Hi Harry & Norm,
You could be asked to take over from Ant & Dec,you would certainly get more laughs than either of them.
Cheers Dave.

norman_ingram · 7 January 2010 17:03

Well Dave I am Ant, and Harry can deck them , we have at least two fans Harry, Jimmy M & Trev H, you know the to fat ladies, we could be the two fat ex-truckers

jimmy_m · 7 January 2010 17:24

ive just had an idea lads!!! wait for it i could get myself one of them fat suits, a pork pie hat, a huge cigar, call myself colonel jimmy parker and skim 60% off the top of the norman and harry show…vegas here we come lads…

norman_ingram · 7 January 2010 17:28

JimmyM if you can sklm anything out of Harry, you are a beter man than me Gunga Din.

dave_the_renegade · 7 January 2010 19:39

Hi Jimmy,
Those two BRS veteran’s know more tricks than Paul Daniels,it would take a clever bloke to get 60% off either of them.
Cheers Dave.

chris_webb · 7 January 2010 20:21

I offered the pair of ‘em an ERF tipper apiece on here months ago.Local councils are crying out for rock salt so you would think that two BRS lads would get over to Winsford and get in t’ queue.
The wagons aren’t top of the range but they’ll both know how to drive 'em and they are double drive,ideal for Buxton via Macclesfield or Sheffield via Snake or Woodhead.

How about it Harry and Norm?

jimmy_m · 7 January 2010 21:32

hi chris and dave ive just started reading the lighthouse topic norm started off. the 4 of you had tears rolling down my cheeks very very funny witty poeple. my mate used to work for that lift company in london before he was layed off. express became ottis or vice versa i think. i’ll have ring him up and ask him if he knew norms lighthouse existed. i used to park up regular at red lion j16 and never knew it was there. there is somewhere up above nottingham where they have a tower they mount jet engines and run them up on it. buggers woke me up they did jimmy

Hi jimmy.Glad you like it on here,keep reading and you will end up as daft as us
I think at one time Rolls Royce Derby ran aero engines on test at the old RAF base at Hucknall,near Nottingham,so it could have been them that woke you up - were you on nights? Could have been a turbo off a TM Bedford.

harry_gill · 7 January 2010 22:40

hiya,
Well thats the taxi duties over until Saturday back on duty then if the weather is still bad, the main roads are OK at the moment but the side streets are a mess, i think the wife’s firm expects partners to do the driving when bad weather is with us at least one of the the other “spare” drivers is an ex trucker his words i’m an ex lorry driver but when his missus and mine are doing double ups we have a bit of craic he was at Gallaghers and worked with lads i knew from my BRS days it shortens the time when the girls are doing their bit, and i climb in his motor so i can turn mine off, might as well take advantage of his heating and save my diesel, i’m starting to adopt old Norm’s tight wad tactics already, should i thank him.
thanks harry long retired.
